Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Riddle Ring: A Novel
From which it will be inferred that poor Jim Conrad was in some mental trouble. So he was. He had come to Paris in order to relieve his mind by making it more miser able than ever, and brooding alone and lonely over his trouble. Alone and lonely may seem at first to the irreverent reader to be mere repetition and tautology. The irreverent reader, if he will please to devote his powerful mind to one moment's thinking over the subject, will see that he is entirely wrong. One may be alone without being lonely. We all find it healthy and satisfactory to be alone now and then; but to be lonely is the blood poisoning of the soul.
